Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured mainstream home-to-school taxi transport for The Market Bosworth School. The service covers four passenger seats, excluding the driver, for pupils travelling from Little Orton, Bilstone, Newton Burgoland and Carlton to the school. It is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply or construction contract. The delivery area is in England, with the named route linking the four villages to The Market Bosworth School. The requirement is bought by Leicestershire County Council, based at County Hall in Glenfield, Leicester. This is relevant to taxi operators and passenger transport businesses able to provide a four-passenger-seat vehicle and operate reliably on this school route.

The procurement has been completed through an open procedure. The tender submission deadline was 9:00am on 11 August 2026, and the contract was awarded on 11 August 2026 to ALS CABS. The awarded value is £13,248 including the published currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 8 July 2027. The tender carried an estimated value of £69. The published award is active. The procurement was classified as transport services and identified as a services contract. Leicestershire County Council evaluated the completed competition through the open procedure; the available outcome identifies ALS CABS as the selected supplier.

This award shows a defined requirement for contracted school taxi transport between named rural communities and The Market Bosworth School, with capacity for four passengers excluding the driver. A credible future competitor would need an appropriately sized taxi, dependable availability across the full school period, and the operational ability to collect or carry passengers from Little Orton, Bilstone, Newton Burgoland and Carlton to the school. Local knowledge of these communities and consistent route delivery would be commercially relevant. The opportunity was marked as suitable for both small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so smaller transport operators may be well placed to pursue a future requirement of this type.
